1984 (the book - read it if you haven't) has arrived.
There is no such thing as male or female. Ask any liberal or Democrat.
When a person gestates a baby that is allowed to live, that person is now called the "uterus owner", to say mother is sexist and unacceptable because Men are gestating babies and allowing them to live now.
So don't be politically incorrect and use the antiquated word Mother: it is now "uterus owner". As in "I love my uterus owner." or now call that person "Hi, uterus owner, how are you?"
This is the new improved way of thinking that Biden supporters voted for as they knew the Democrats and liberals demanded we do away with sexist and gendered words.

It's one thing to set a standard and expect that everyone who applies and passes be allowed to serve, but it's another to have a competition where the one group has a naturally different set of equipment than the other that leads to them having a higher ceiling of potential ability and calling that competition fair if both groups compete.
Men will always have a higher potential ceiling than women which is why there are men's and women's records.
However, it's not a problem to set a floor and allow anyone who can pass above the floor to have entry to your group.
So as a liberal and a Democrat I would say that there is most definitely male and female and that no biological male should play in women's sports.

I say go ahead and let them. Does anyone watch women's sports anyway?
All but basketball.
That's just painful.
Truthfully though it's not about the audience as much as the ladies competing.

Will they also be looking to eliminate the different weight classes in boxing, too?
Not sure that I want to see someone's head actually knocked off their shoulders.
Even if it is "fairer".

The republican party acts so selfish and small minded that they force every group outside of wealthy white males into a corner and force us all to work together. Therefore I have to share a party with these nuts. Thanks Republicans, you can blame the democrats but this your fault.

Thing about basketball is that it becomes a different type of game when women play it. We physically can't play it the same way that men do - no dunking, we aren't as fast, etc. So the game shifts and is played in different ways. Women tend to throw up the three ball more, and I had plenty of bruises and several nearly broken noses that attest to the physicality of the women's game. It's not that women aren't as competitive and physical when they play it.

Please elaborate how Republicans force you to align yourself with these nutters...
I just don't get it. When you talk to normal people who vote Democrat on a singular issue like this, the results are always the same... they see how crazy the Democrats really are... yet, you keep voting for them?
I mean, we can do this all day. Transgenders, Illegal Immigrants, Voter ID, Gun Control, Green policies....
It is almost like Democrat voters have practically no understanding of the actual policies being pushed by Democrats.
I do see how crazy the Democrats are but they are far less crazy then republicans. Republicans are bought and paid for by elitists and billionaires and strictly serve those interests. Working people don't matter. They just want to drive everyone into poverty. The Democrats are the only party who keeps us from becoming a full blown oligarchy. The democrats support things like a higher minimum wage, green energies and cleaner environment, more regulations of big businesses, legalization of cannabis, common sense gun reform, compassionate immigration policy, affirmative action. All these make total sense from an economic and moral point of view. Republicans have redistributed the wealth into the pockets of the billionaire class and I would like to see them taxed and regulated. To me it is the billionaires and the republican party vs the democrats and everyone else. So since the republicans have sold their souls to the billionaire class I am stuck with teaming up with the rest of society which includes some degenerates and crazies.

I do see how hard they try but the game is just terrible. For some reason it just looks like a complete lack of skills.
That is odd too because in volleyball and softball the women's game is great to watch.
